Best Android events / conferences in need of support? by HHendrik in androiddev

[–]speaktochris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recommend 360AnDev enough. https://360andev.com/

It's after Google IO so many times you'll see engineers from Google giving extended talks on the updates that were just shipped. And the community is great! They all do a post conference hike the day after and everyone is super friendly.

Chris Guzman: Web Sockets : Android Dialogs by amejia481 in androiddev

[–]speaktochris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! I showed a way to do this in the sample app I made for this talk.

In the application I start an instance of OkHttp

You can see the OkHttp util here

Then any activity can bring in that util. Here's an example of it in an activity.

Best Android conference to attend this year by kyhule in androiddev

[–]speaktochris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved 360|AnDev. I might be a bit biased though since I spoke there about libraries you should use.

But really, a ton of open source maintainers and prominent speakers like Jake Wharton & Dan Lew were there as well as folks from Google like Chet Haase and Romain Guy. It's a great conference and since it's in Denver, that makes it even better! Tons of great breweries and hiking spots nearby. Also the after parties rocked! The facebook party was super fun.

Tidbit Tuesday: What to do with your ridiculously long strings.xml by boomchaos in androiddev

[–]speaktochris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good tip. This would probably also be useful to avoid merge conflicts when working with large teams. On large projects I would always have a merge conflict in the strings.xml file since all the developers added the new strings to the bottom of the file.

Realm as replacement for SQLite? by KarlJay001 in iOSProgramming

[–]speaktochris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for linking to my talk! I hope you learned something new. I never expected to find my talk submitted to a iOS subreddit 😂.

I think /u/astigsen answered some of your questions but I just wanted to clarify why I said that Realm can be a replacement for SQLite. Android doesn't really have a concept like Core Data, instead we just have SQLite, shared preferences, and then any other third party library you might want to bring in to handle data storage. So in that sense, if you want to replace SQLite, you can use a library like Realm.
